Coachella and Bonnaroo are already behind us, but the music festivals keep coming all summer. Artist-founded fests aren’t a new concept, but this year everyone from 30 Seconds to Mars to Nile Rodgers is getting in on the act. Before the parties, take a closer look at what to expect from eight festivals, founded by the artists themselves.

New for 2015:

Camp Mars, Malibu

Founded by: Thirty Seconds to MarsAbout the festival: The Jared Leto-fronted group wanted to do something fun and different for its audience, and what better to do so than to host a musical summer camping trip?Why you should go: The summer wilderness retreat will offer two performances from Thirty Seconds to Mars, along with hiking, climbing, yoga, cooking classes, raising the flag, campfire sing-alongs, and, of course, s’mores. The band has yet to announce which other artists will join them for the Southern California festival, but have said DJ sets will accompany their sets. Even more fun—those working the festival are referred to as Camp Counselors.Dates: Aug. 22-24Ticket info: Day passes start at $399, with full weekend packages beginning at $799.

Founded by: Jack AntonoffAbout the festival: In hopes of putting New Jersey’s music scene in the spotlight, the former fun. guitarist will bring Shadow of the City to Asbury Park, which is known for its connections to Bruce Springsteen. The city in reference here is, of course, New York. “New Jersey is such an incredible place, with amazing music fans and amazing music that comes out of Jersey but a lack of shows in Jersey,” Antonoff told Rolling Stone. “Everyone goes to New York City.” But with Shadow of the City, Antonoff wants to remind music fans that his home state is a powerhouse for the arts.Why you should go: Antonoff has over 10 years of experience playing festivals, so he’s not letting anything slip through the cracks when it comes to putting on a memorable festival. Shadow of the City will be filled with Jersey-based vendors, local food trucks, and carnival and arcade games. Ally Coalition, an LGBT organization Antonoff works with, will also have a presence at the event. As for the music, Shadow of the City will only have one stage, so that means you’ll be able to see all eight performers—including Antonoff’s Bleachers, Charli XCX, Vic Mensa, and MisterWives—without any competing set times.Date: Sept. 19Ticket info: Early bird tickets cost $49.50 and can be purchased on Ticketmaster.

Founded by: Nile RodgersAbout the festival: According to the Chic guitarist and founder, the two-day Freak Out Let’s Dance! (FOLD!) Festival will be “a great night of mashing up music cultures just like we used to do in the Woodstock days!” In its first year, Rodgers promises the event will be one of a kind, and the only festival of its caliber on Long Island. Martha Clara Vineyards will host the two-day show.Why you should go: Any festival at a winery featuring headliners Beck and Duran Duran couldn’t possibly be a bad time.

And with Chic planning to drop their first album in 23 years this summer, you may be among the first to catch the group’s new material live (though they aren’t officially scheduled to play).Dates: Aug. 4-5Ticket info: General admission tickets for both days are $137, with the Ultra VIP experience costing $399 for the weekend.
